Well here are some eazy ones, Kaalia of the Vast, Riku of Two Reflections, Zur the Enchanter, Narset, Enlightened Master. but who would some of the other major commanders be that you just see and want it gone.. now.

Nobody has said Iona, Shield of Emeria yet? Also, Gaddock Teeg and pretty much every mono U general is hated in casual metas.

Animar, Soul of Elements don't ever let it stay longer than a turn. and Sen Triplets cause yeah.

I absolutely hate animar and maelstrom wanderer. These are the worst duel commander matches imho. Gaedock Teeg is also annoying (especially when I play mono blue)...

In my play group it's Thraximundar my personal most hated is Omnath, Locus of Mana

Brago, King Eternal is horrible to go against. Nobody likes a locked board.

I run Animar, Soul of Elements as my #1 deck and Narset, Enlightened Master as my #2
I will absolutely say that narset gets hated off the table immediately. To the point where I'd almost like to just sell or trade it because it's not fun to get knocked out first every time. I only run land destruction when in competition at my lgs, def not in casual play. I also don't run LD in animar for the same reason.
Why do people hate animar so much? Due to how fast it can take off if left unchecked? Just curious.
The one commander that caught a lot of grief for a while in my playgroup was Tasigur, the Golden Fang due to some of the extremely degenerate cards he was running. Our group strives for a fun and social setting, so although we're all incredibly competitive we try not to run cards that piss each other off

A lot of people will refuse to play against my Azami, Lady of Scrolls deck only because they've heard horror stories about her.

I love him, but people on the receiving end tend to disagree... Sliver Overlord. Granted, the other Sliver Generals are probably just as hated, but IMO Overlord is the best.

One guy in my playgroup plays with Heartless Hidetsugu and I absolutely hate it.

Prossh, Skyraider of Kher isn't just kill on sight, it's "prevent from being cast at all costs" because if he resolves its usually game over for everyone else.

Not a power level issue, but I feel like everyone I've ever met with a Phelddagrif deck was just kind of annoying and whiny. The kind of "hardcore casual" player who gets mad really quickly when anyone tries to actually play a game of magic instead of durdling around.
Power-wise, Narset, Enlightened Master, Mizzix of the Izmagnus, and Zur the Necropotence Fetcher are all commanders who you should basically never let someone untap with, and Sharuum the Hegemon should never be allowed to resolve unless there's a copy of Rest in Peace already in play.

Phelddagrif. I don't care what else is at the table, the hippo dies first. The tears of the little shits whining "but I'm group hug!" are like sweet ambrosia to me.
Nekusar, the Mindrazer is still annoying, though considerably less so. At least have the decency to give him infect so the game ends in a reasonable timeframe.
@Raging_Squiggle: Eh, she's fine!

Actually, now it looks like my Gisa and Geralf deck will be bringing the hurt on azami. Just played 2 games against a buddy with one and I beat him both times. Oddly enough, nothing very "zombie-like" came out of it. Lol. Mostly just recurred my power creatures and copied things and stole some things. The zombies didn't do too much.

So... you've got Dimir goodstuff with a side of zombies? Fun times.

I guess? I don't know if I'm really pleased with that though.

I honestly might just make a mono black deck out of it. Since the game really only ended up with me using black cards to begin with.
August 2, 2016 2:21 a.m.
just use douchee blue stuff so counters and make the rest black

@Raging_Squiggle I'd say to keep testing with it. We should get an EDH pod going this weekend. Text me about it!

Memnarch usually saddens my playgroup (I will say it is fun to just sit and play with yourself though). I would have to go Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Flip just because the 1 deck that runs him as commmander is a pain to play against.

Pretty much every decent Sultai or Temur commander has a dedicated hate club. (Mimeoplasm is degeneracy given card form, Tasigur can be awful, Sidisi is top tier. Animar can basically become an Omniscience, I've seen Riku decks that let their opponents play three turns then chain Time Walks.) There's also Tsabo Tavoc and Empress Galina who aren't that bad but are considered a bit mean.

I played against a Karametra, God of Harvests deck that really pissed me off.

Nekusar, the Mindrazer every deck I have ever played against is literally copy and pasted
